What element that is a good conductor of electricity It also forms a chloride in the form XCl2 and an oxide in form of XO.The element is a liquid at room temperature.What is the identity?
Mercury is the only element that is both liquid at room temperature and a good conductor of electricity. Mercury also has the other properties specified.
What is the only non metal that is a good electrical conductor?
Carbon in the form of graphite is used as an electrical conductor (the brushes in electric motors)
Is silver an electrical conductor?
Silver is very good conductor of electricity. It is better electrical conductor than copper. Silver is not commonly used as it is much expensive element.
Is sulfur a better conductor than carbon?
No, carbon in the form of graphite is a good conductor of electricity. Sulfur is not an electrical conductor.
Why is silicon a good heat conductor but a poor electrical conductor?
Metals are actually good conductors of both heat and electricity... but silicon is a semi-conductor. Unlike metals, which are good electrical and heat conductors, crystalline solids such as diamond and semiconductors such as silicon are good heat conductors but poor electrical conductors. This is their nature... you can't change it :-)
What is a good conductor of heat in liquid?
mercury
Is liquid a poor electrical conductor true or false?
Liquid is one of the 3 (or 4) states of matter: Gas, liquid, and solid. Being a liquid really has nothing to do with its conductivity. Example: Pure water is not a good conductor. Pure mercury in liquid form is a really good conductor. The Fourth state of matter is considered to be Plasma.
What solids are good conductors?
All metals are solids and good conductors apart from Mercury which is a liquid but is a good conductor.
Is electrical conductivity as a liquid good or bad?
depends on the liquid .. mercury yes .. distilled water no ..
Is mercury or Hg a good or poor conductor?
Mercury is a metal and a good conductor.
What are the advantages of mercury as a thermometeric liquid?
As mercury has a low specific heat yet is a good conductor of heat it has been the choice for thermometers. The ease of reading is due to the fact that the mercury does not wet the walls of the glass.
Is mercury good conductor of heta?
No. Mercury is a poor conductor of heat.
What element that is a good conductor of electricity It also forms a chloride in the form XCl2 and an oxide in form of XO.The element is a liquid at room temperature.What is the identity?
Mercury is the only element that is both liquid at room temperature and a good conductor of electricity. Mercury also has the other properties specified.
Are all insulators and conductors solids?
No, most gases are good insulators. Fluids can be good conductors. Mercury is normally a liquid and is a good conductor.
Is Mercury a good conductor of current?
Mercury is a relatively good conductor of electricity (it used to be used in positioning switches to complete an electric circuit when the switch tipped so that enclosed mercury cam in contact with two terminals e.g. a switch on the lid of a freezer box which turned the light on when the lid was opened). Mercury is a relatively poor conductor of heat (compared to most other metals).
What phase of matter is Mercury?
Mercury's state of matter is a liquid. Mercury is not a good conductor of heat and cinnabar is the largest natural source for mercury.
Is nitrogen a conductor of electricity?
Nitrogen is not a good electrical conductor.
